This article explores the concept of authentic happiness, a pivotal theme in positive psychology, by juxtaposing its conceptualization of authentic happiness with the Quranic perspective on this construct. This comparison focuses on the essence, components, and operational mechanisms of happiness, aiming to explore the potential for education on this emotion. The study finds that although positive psychology's notion of authentic happiness originated in a markedly different intellectual and social context, it aligns with the Quranic perspective concerning the understanding of happiness and its attainment through virtue. Both perspectives are underpinned by specific foundational principles and mechanisms for achieving happiness, as well as the feasibility of educating individuals about it.
